Our long national nightmare is over! Facebook for Android has been dramatically improved! Version 2.0 has hit Google Play, and it has been completely rebuilt in native code to make it run a lot better. Before, it ran as a hybrid web view, implementing some native code elements along with basically rendering a mobile web page. This meant that Facebook could provide a common experience across iOS and Android. And for what it’s worth, it did its job in that regard â€“ it just wasn’t very good.
